18.12-U5 Available

Package update 5 for 18.12-RELEASE is now available.

The graphical system update utility has a new version now with a couple new features:

When starting updates, there will now be a prompt about whether to perform a “full” update (forcibly resync your system with the versions of packages in the repository). This option takes a bit longer to download/perform the updates, but is very useful if your system has gotten out of sync with the repo from manually testing packages or you are moving backwards to an older version of the package repository.

Package repository selection options are now available as well! Currently we only have 2 different package repositories (“Trident” and “Trident-staging”), but when we start rolling experimental builds in preparation for the next big update to TrueOS, you will be able to find those package trains available here.

The backend “sysup” utility has also been updated, and fixes the startup delays we were seeing with that utility. This allows checks for updates and configuration changes to be done much faster than before.

Package changes of note:

The mythtv package is available once again (was broken for a while)

The wxMaxima package was renamed to wxmaxima. If you used this package previously, you may need to manually re-install the new package to continue using it (old package will be removed during update).

All the Qt 5 libraries have been updated: 5.12.0 -> 5.12.1

KDE Framework 5 has been updated: 5.54.0_1 -> 5.55.0

KDE applications have been updated: 18.12.1_1 -> 18.12.2

KDE Plasma 5 has been updated: 5.14.5_1 -> 5.15.0

openjdk8 and associated JRE have been updated: 8.192.26_4 -> 8.202.8

node has been updated: 11.8.0 -> 11.9.0

yarn has been updated: 1.12.3 -> 1.13.0
